Please Stay

I was just, uh, thinking about you
And I know you've been having a hard time
Um, so just wanted to give you a call
And tell you that I really believe in you and you got this
The sunsets are dull and you don't know what to do
So you scrubbed down your brain and you bought some new shoes
And the reliable tricks just aren't working
Despite the pain killers your heart is still hurting
You've had a rough day, a hard night, the worst week
But I see past your smile to the tears on your cheek
A pessimistic struggle for most of your life
But please, stay with me for tonight
Just calling again, uh, thought about you earlier
And, uh, just let me know if you ever need anything, okay
I'm here and we all care about you
Your stomach is turning and that feeling is back
And your brain will burn bridges but won't cut you some slack
And sleep won't come easy and your eyelids are bright
And everything's scary and nothing's alright
There's salt in the sea and then there's salt in your wounds
And there's dirt in the hearses and there's blood on the moon
And your brain's trying to kill you for the 100th time
Just please, stay with me just for tonight
It's just me, reaching out again
I haven't heard from you, I'm a little worried
I just wanted to call you and remind you that you are loved
And it absolutely gets better, I promise
The same brain that tried to kill you will one day save your life
And one day you'll have a lover, a husband, or a wife
One day you'll breathe easy and your lungs won't be heavy
And your hands won't be shaky and your mind will hold steady
And it won't be easy, but you've been through the waves
And you stayed up for hours and you've stayed up for days
And I'm not saying it's different, I'm not saying it's nice
I just think you should stay at least for tonight
Tomorrow might be better, the sun's up at first glance
You don't have to promise, just give life a chance
It gets so much better, please give life a chance
Just for tonight, please give life a chance
No matter how hard it gets, there's always a reason to stay
There really is
It's there every day
You just have to look for it
